British Grand Prix: The Top Bets By The Form Guide

Formula 1 Betting By Numbers

Before
each Grand Prix I make a set of pre and post qualifying tips and then
compare which set of tips perform best. For recent Grand Prix, I've also
analysed the performance of the drivers during 2013 to see which drivers
have been the most profitable bets, and also the safest bets, in some
of the most popular formula 1 betting markets.

You can see the
detailed results in my previous posts, but to summarise, based on the
statistics from the first seven Grand Prix of the season, as we head to
Silverstone the best bets so far have been...

N.B.
The above figures are based on the return you would have received if
you placed a £1 bet on the same driver at every Grand Prix of the season
based on the odds when the market first opened, i.e. before practise
and qualifying.

N.B.
When two or more drivers have achieved an equal success rate, I have
listed the driver who would have returned the biggest profit.

As you can see Sebastian Vettel has been a pretty safe bet in most formula 1 betting markets this season, and with Pirelli changing their tyre choices to suit Red Bull you have to fancy Vettel to continue his strong run of form.

Obviously recent Grand Prix such as Monaco and Canada will have
more relevance to the bookies' odds for Silverstone than the results earlier in the season, so the above statistics are intended as no more
than a basic analysis of the season so far. You also have to consider
that certain circuits will suit
certain teams and drivers more than others, so as usual I'll be making a
set of predictions before and after qualifying and then comparing how I
get on against the form guide.
